tag: שבועות Shavuot Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? In place of the blood of the slaughtered bulls from the covenantal ceremony in Exodus, we looked for another substance to effect the covenant ceremony. Amalya was born right after Shavuot, on which we have a tradition to eat dairy. In fact, milk itself is associated with the acceptance of Torah, as described in the following Midrash which quotes a verse from Song of Songs (4:11): “Sweetness drops from your lips, O bride; honey and milk are under your tongue and the scent of your robes is like the scent of Lebanon.” Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., ceremony, dairy foods, הדר Hadar, infants, naming, parent, Parents blessing children, prayers concerning children, Prayers on behalf of children, שבועות Shavuot, שמחת בת simḥat bat, soporifics, Torah as milk Contributor(s): The time we are in now is a time to ask: are we so determined to undo God’s rainbow covenant? Will we truly burn the sea, chemically and literally, with the oil we unleash from inside the Earth? Will we flood the sea with death as the land was flooded according to the Noah story of so long ago? As the cleanup continues and the effects will continue for decades, what new floods will we unleash in the coming years? Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A translation of the Seven Blessings shared just in time for Shavuot, and in honor of several of my friend’s weddings. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., English Translation, eros, interpretive translation, love, marriage, שבועות Shavuot, שבע ברכות sheva brakhot, יחוד yiḥud Contributor(s): | ||
